Hack video game movie director Uwe Boll has had enough of AWESOME Hollywood action director Michael Bay’s disrespect, and has challenged to the Transformers director to a 12-round boxing match to settle it all.
“Michael Bay responded to my note about him in a very insulting way for me. He said that he doesn’t care about me and this was very insulting because I care about him and I think that with the money he has for his movies, he sucks big time. I think it’s time to meet in the ring actually.
So it’s my message to Michael Bay, Michael, in between your pool parties in LA or your casting sessions with the strippers you should start training now. And I’m sure you look good, you look thin. I saw you at the Hollywood Film Festival, I think you’re a fit guy and you do like private karate bullshitAsia bullshit crap fighting stuff in LA where you think you’re super cool that you do that with your 500 bucks trainer everyday.
So let’s meet in the ring in September or October. Pay-per-view. Mandalay Bay. Las Vegas. Twelve rounds of boxing. Boll against Bay. And it’s also independent against the studio system and I think that this day in Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas we will clear it up who is not only the better director who is also able to fight more for that what he wants.”
Discuss: Who would/should win in a fight between Boll and Bay?

B VS B: No matter who wins we lose.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Both of them suck, so it doesn’t matter who wins.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Uwe Boll, proving that, contrary to popular belief, you CAN solve all your problems with violence.
Seriously, this is just stupid. Although Boll would win, on account of his experience in the ring, particularly at fighting people who have no experience of fighting.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
This… was not exactly unexpected, but I have to say I wasn’t expecting it…
April 25th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
This is the best thing I have ever read in my life.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
I’d pay to see that so long as they could incorporate Michael Bay’s spinning camera move and explosions.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Rofl that doesn’t prove anything about who’s the better director, Bay is is not a good director if you ask me but Uwe, wow his movies are bad
April 25th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I kinda would like to punch both of them in the mouth.
Can we arrange that Uwe? (I assume you read this site, since everything you do is posted here.) Pay-per-view. Mandalay Bay. I make some money out of it and get to punch both you and Michael Bay in the mouth. This was a funny publicity stunt the first time you did it, but this just looks sad. No one wants to see Postal. It doesn’t look funny. It doesn’t look subversive or edgy. It just kind of looks stupid. When I want edgy political satire with a cartoon edge, I watch South Park. Where’s that online petition? I haven’t signed it yet. No, forget it. Uwe, why don’t you just go reinvent yourself. Write and direct a movie that has nothing to do with bad videogames and just make something personal. You’ve made like six movies, so you know what you’re doing and you know how to get money for them. Kristanna Loken loves you for some reason, so write it for her. It could be a sweet tale of lesbian romance between her and Michelle Rodriguez. The less of this dumb shit you try to pull and the harder you try to make good personal movies, the bigger the fan base you’re going to get. You might even turn some people around in your favor. Ah, f*ck it. Just let me punch you in the mouth.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
where are the bookies for this match…
April 25th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Boll looks like he could take wafer-thin Bay in a fight anyday.
BUT…
As cocky as he is, he’d probably go down in the fourth.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Michael Bay isn’t that bad, he makes movies that are geared for entertainment and action based fun, and he does a pretty darn good job at that. You can’t be mad at Michael Bay for not making oscar winning dramas because thats not what he sets out to do. For the Genre of Action/Adventure, Michael Bay is one of the best directors out there.
Uwe Boll sucks big time, there is no defending him…
Michael Bay would win in a fight because he would totally just put a bomb in Uwe’s car beforehand or something…
April 25th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Michael Bay kind of looks like Glass Joe from Mike Tyson’s Punch-out.
Uwe kind of looks like King Hippo.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Maybe he should stop worrying what everyone else thinks about him and try to make a good movie for once. I know it’s a stretch but you never know.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Wow, he continues to to splurge shit out of his mouth. I wonder why Bay doesn’t care about him… maybe it’s because NOBODY does. Why doesn’t he just stick to boxing? Maybe he’d be somewhat respected- oh wait, no he wouldn’t, because if he were to take that up as a career he’d be destroyed every time he entered the ring. Looks like he just can’t do anything right.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Are you kidding me?
April 25th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
BAY ALL THE way!!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
i challenge spielberg to a fight to see who`s the better director, ive never worked in film but if i can beat him up it means i got talent
April 25th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Hey, even though MB sucks a little (Transformers was good and so was Bad Boys 1 IMO) I still prefer his action WAY MUCH more than UB.
FUCK YOU BOLL!!
April 25th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
If that petition to stop Dr. Boll suceeds, then it’ll save Michael Bay’s life!
April 25th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Bay is such a cock-swallow. He’s the sole reason why modern action movies suck major ass.
I can’t believe Peter said he was awesome. What the fuck are you thinking? He’s the patron saint of retarded film.
If this happened: I’d hope Boll would knock him into a coma.
Transformers is such a waste…
April 25th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I got my money on the Pikey.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I would never download a film ever again just to see UB lay a fight club “angel face” beating on MB.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I’d fight Uwe
April 25th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
wow. all of this is dumb as hell
April 25th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I hope Bay accepts and kicks his ass.
I don’t care what people say about Michael Bay, Transformers was legendary. The dude did that commercial too, and in it he claimed he was awesome, and I gotta be honest, I’ve never been more convinced of anything in my life.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Pathetic.
If I were an entertainment media news source, I would just stop covering Uwe Boll’s antics.
They’re the only thing getting anyone into his films anymore.
*nudge nudge*
*wink wink*
*stomp on your toe if you know what I mean!*
April 25th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Uwe Boll has links to Al Qaeda. He must be eliminated with extreme prejudice.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
So… this fight is about one director not caring about another??
I love Uwe’s recent press-baiting, and I also love the idea of Uwe kicking the shit out of Michael Bay. However, this seems a little extreme.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Michael bay is so fucked.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
God damn I love this town.
And I want Boll to win - that would be legendary.
April 25th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
How does UWE not have his own show yet?
April 25th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I want to see them fight. Please oblige, Bay.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Seriously, this Uwe Boll guy is stupid. Michael Bay is a great popcorn/action movie director. That’s what he does. He has perfected the art of popcorn. Uwe Boll, he just sounds stupid, talks stupid and looks stupid.
But I do admire his zeal. Too bad there isn’t any intelligence behind it.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Boll would probably kick his ass, but he will (oh my god can’t believe I’m saying this) be a better director than Bay.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I’m a Boll supporter. I think Hollywood would kick ass if many of the disputes were settled this way.
GOH UVAH BOWL!
April 25th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I meant he will NEVER be a better director, sorry just clocking on for work.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Who is Uwe Boll ?
April 25th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
this was really funny, actually. i imagine it reaches greater comedic heights than postal will. but in all honesty, watch the rock/transformers and then watch bloodrayne or alone in the dark. you’ll understand why michael bay isn’t bottom of the barrel. he’s just floating around in the middle somewhere while boll grabs for his feet.
April 25th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
I Am Awesome!
April 25th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Uwe, who?
April 25th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
This is the first time, I’m 100% pro Bay.
Seriously Uwe Boll, you’re a disgrace to germany.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
A lot of serious comments on here for a post about a director’s video in which he challenges another to a boxing match. That alone makes this not worth taking seriously. That aside, I laughed my ass off.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
“AWESOME Hollywood action director Michael Bay”??? Although I hate Uwe, he’s got a point “I think that with the money he has for his movies, he sucks big time.” The way I see it, I can stomach Bay’s movies whereas I cannot watch a minute of Uwe’s. So I guess I’m rooting for Bay…but just barely.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Fuck you all I win!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I hope they kill each other.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
I love how they even quoted his awful grammar.
Go back to the motherland, Adolf!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
it a win-win…now can we please drop this story? its boring already
April 25th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I just gained a new found respect for OOh-Vuh Boll. He is hilarious! And for all you people saying you would fight him, etc, you are talking out of your butts. Challenge the man, Im sure he’s game, and he will dominate you. I have never seen any of his films, but man, that was truly funny.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Hey, here’s a great idea: If you don’t like Uwe Boll’s films…don’t see them! I didn’t even make it halfway through his Alone In The Dark, so I decided not to go there with him again. To explain…no, there is too much, too sum up: don’t like him, quit bitchin’ and ignore his films. Love his films? Continue to do so put don’t expect the rest of us to follow suit just because you’ve got some overwrought read into his story-telling panache. I’m so sick of hearing about Uwe Boll…please for the love of God, stop posting stories about him.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Man, I love that latest string of Boll’s internet videos. He should just keep releasing these instead of films. They’re hilarious.
BTW, I think he’s totally aware of how he’s coming off and he’s playing it up. It’s a great move because it’s only furthering publicity for him and I’m sure he’d even gain a few fans from it.
April 25th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Bay all the way
April 25th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
I am laughing so hard, this guy is so full of himself
April 25th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Uwe is just trying to get media attention so people will go see his movie.
Bay would just summon an army of Decepticons and Uwe an army of…….uhm…….crap haha
Bay would OWN HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 25th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
At least bay has movie ratings above 2.2 on imdb. Bay would kick his ass any day
April 25th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
QUIT GIVING ATTENTION TO THIS GUY!
April 25th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Hahaha if Bay actually considered it that would be epic…I’m sure the fight would just spin off as a shitty Uwe Boll bio-pic made himself..this guy’s ego rivals anyone’s
April 26th, 2008 at 1:27 am
The more he talks shit about Micheal Bay the more I like him.
April 26th, 2008 at 1:36 am
Only if they fight to the death, and the winner gets shot in the fucking head.
April 26th, 2008 at 6:18 am
I haven’t seen any Uwe Boll movies. I have seen some Michael Bay movies, and he has no business talking bad about anyone else. I’m not surprised that he would call himself awesome, because he’s obviously good at selling himself to Hollywood execs and that’s how he keeps working. Or maybe he’s got some secret videotape he’s blackmailing them with. Clearly Bay needs to be taken down a peg, so I hope that Uwe will DESTROY HIM.
April 26th, 2008 at 6:44 am
What a hypocrite.
It was Boll who called Bay “a f***ing retard” in that childish rant he originally put out.
Bay merely responded by saying that he didn’t care about Uwe Boll.
How is that insulting?!
PS
Hey, Boll! You’re not part of the “independent system”. You’re state funded by the German government, you low life sellout!
PPS
The fact that you have to challenge other more successful filmmakers to playground fist fights is just confirmation of how bad you are.
Here’s a hint: you compete with filmmakers by making films. You compete with boxers by boxing.
Why don’t you challenge a real boxer to a boxing match instead of throwing these useless childish tantrums?
April 26th, 2008 at 7:30 am
The man gets more and more retarded with each passing day. Seriously, he needs to be stopped.
April 26th, 2008 at 8:17 am
In a physical fight, I think its a fair match. It’s difficult to say who would win. In terms of talent as a director however…..well it’s a fair fight there too
April 26th, 2008 at 8:17 am
i like how boll seems to think superiority in a boxing ring will prove he is a good director. he’s such a retard. and bay is a good director. i mean he’s never going to win an oscar, nor does he deserve one, but he sure knows how to make a damn entertaining movie.
April 26th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Uwe Boll is like some 5 year old child that they keep giving money to. To claim to be the only genius in the movie making business is simply incredible and hilarious. I loved the game postal and I can only imagine in what way he has destroyed what could have been a great movie. Notice how he keeps telling anyone that says anything about his movies that he wants to meet them in the ring….he’s a giant 5 year old. That’s how children settle things. Comparing his movie to Schindler’s List was probably to date the stupidest thing he’s said so far. And thinking that his newest movie will destroy Indiana Jones 4 at the box office is absolutely ridiculous. This guy needs to give it up and go back to boxing.
April 26th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
you need to give the petetion another post… it has slowed and is at 225,709 signatures but it’s 1/4 of the way to a million!
April 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
You know what? As much as I don’t like Uwe Boll’s films (and I have watched them as it would be unfair to review them otherwise) I love the guy’s shamelessness.
HE IS A MARKETING GOD!!!!!
Also I’d love to see the two of them fight, it’s just insane, you know, crazier than the scene in True Lies, where a man on a motorcycle is being chased by Arnold on a horse, on the roof of a building, and THAT’S crazy.
April 27th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Michael Bay in my opinion is ten probably ten million times better than Uwe Boll. Look Uwe Boll, if you want to fight, no problem. Just don’t have anything to do with film. All you had to do was cop it all on your chin and move on. Make good movies. That’s all. Then everyone would forgive you and then they move on. Instead you challenge Bay to a boxing match. What the hell? Not only would you make yourself look really stupid by being a sore loser, but man, Bay will kick his friggen boot, up your friggen ass!! Just cop it or get the steppin!!
April 27th, 2008 at 9:35 am
zee germans…
April 27th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Uwe is a joke…
At least Bay makes enjoyable movies, Uwe is just terrible.
April 27th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Someone explain to me how boxing would prove who is the better director…
Boll is a moron. Please let someone run over him with an exploding bus. I like Bay’s movies… for the most part. I definitely love Transformers.
May 12th, 2008 at 5:29 am
How can one on a basis of a boxing round decide who is the better director?
Seriously, Uwe grows dumber every time I hear a thing about him. He should lose. Michael Bay isn’t an exactly great director, but at least I’m able to watch his movies.
